SONIC 2200 is U.S.
Rockets' sounding rocket vehicle. Designed to accept rated power
well in excess
of model rocket limitations, SONIC 2200 is a screamer. Classic
'California'
styling and Discontinuous Staging provide a stable design
and booster
parachute recovery capability unique to U.S. Rockets products.
Try F80-4 to G60-8 or G60-4 to G60-12. It has through
the wall fin attach on the booster to withstand hard landings.

SONIC
2200
can be slightly modified to
accept new dual deployment systems and altimiters. The payload
can be deployed on both sides of
the coupler or both sides of the payload tube. This rocket is
recomended for schools, recreation programs and
science work. It flies surprisingly well on E50-4 to E10-8.
Best flights are with
USR
F80-8 or 4 to G30-8. SONIC 2200 has been successfully tested
with as
high of
power as J160-12 and as high
thrust
as H320-12. Its very strong and lightweight construction makes
it fly surprisingly high
compared
to other rocket kit brands. Test it for yourself!

Jason Blatzheim's Sonic 2200 is lifting off on a G64, staged to an F36 CTI Smokey.
All electronic for stage and deploy. The booster just used the motor ejection.

He has quite a few large rockets.

User Feedback

Well, after spending 12 hours or so on the electronics bay
(which I had to do the hard way) it is ready to go. It is
even loaded, other than ignitors of course.

Here's the flight profile - liftoff on an F52T. Burnout.
At T+2, there is a charge for stage seperation, and then
then at T+3 the F23FJ is ignited. Burnout, coast, apogee
ejection via Transolve P7. The booster uses motor ejection
(~4 sec delay). Fiddly, yes. But it should be sweet.

Update: Well, the Q2G2 worked just great in the F23FJ.
There is NOT room for any more ignitor, believe me!
I would use that combo again.

I've been building rockets for twenty plus years, but
have built very few two-stagers. This winter I built
the Sonic 2200, and I gotta say, great kit. I have really
enjoyed it, and the price is right. Recommended.
